yes it's my everyday lens which I have on the camera 90% of the time.It's a lot bigger and more solid than the usual kit lens and having f2.8 on 17mm is a big plus. It's also nice to be able to get really close if you want to spontaneously do some macro shooting. Only down side I found so far is that it produces quite some flares when looking directly into the sun (but that's normal for lenses in this price range I think).Otherwise the build quality is really great and robust, it survived over 2 years of bumping into things and even running around for 8 hours in -15°C - and the occasional dropping of the lens into the snow didn't do any harm either
